Conceptual reference board layout
navigation and playback of large collections of
media and applications. Manufacturers can
tailor display and media processing functions
to differentiate appealing players with various
feature sets and price points.The reference
design can also be integrated into a television
with direct support for the display’s native
resolution.
Exceptional picture/video quality
The reference design utilizes the PNX1502's
advanced image and video enhancement
capabilities to deliver exceptional picture
quality on LCD displays. State-of-the-art
motion-adaptive de-interlacing with optional
edge detection and correction eliminates the
need for an external chip to support progres-
sive output. An on-chip graphics engine accel-
erates high-speed 2D graphics. An integrated
TFT LCD controller enables direct output
for integration into LCD and plasma TVs and
supports display resolutions up to WXGA
TFT LCD. For generating high-quality video
on internal or external displays, the PNX1502
handles high-definition video scaling, linear
and non-linear aspect-ratio conversion, anti-
flicker filtering, brightness control, and a long
list of video quality enhancements.
